The Art of Growing Microgreens

PHarvest - I also find that the flavor changes with some varieties between the cotyledon and true leaf stage. I tend to like the flavor better at the younger age. I have a display photo that shows that one ounce of broccoli at the cotyledon stage has the nutritional value of 1 1/2 LBS of broccoli head. Pretty amazing! Plus immature broccoli has significant amounts of sulforaphane, which is an anti-cancer compound found in cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli micros are now being recommended to cancer patients and broccoli is my top seller in the greens.
